For example when I am in a depressed one thing that gets me out of it is relaxing comfortably in a cozy environment with cheerful people. What I actually do is isolate myself from people, don't take showers, eat very little or waaay too much, brush my teeth not at all or obsessively, sleep for 14 hours a day and sink into further lethargy.
This is interesting, Pedro. When I become depressed, I uncontrollably obsess over things, like TV, books, or Socionics. Then I jump between these things, tiring of them quickly. When it comes to the stuff I need to do, it becomes unbearable. Thus, I never get anything done.
I find that when I focus on Se stuff, I become normal again. For instance, I can, for no apparent reason, start doing mindless physical tasks, like shoveling snow for an hour or doing chores without being asked. People find this quite odd, but I find it very refreshing. I do some of my best thinking in this mode.

I suppose I should tell you guys this now, for it's been sitting on my mind for some time now. At the very end of May (or whenever I get out of school,) I am quitting Socionics. I cannot live with an obsession any longer. I must focus on living for awhile, and the only way I can do this is to cut back on my interests. During the summer, I hope to focus most of my energy on my piano and love. Introverted Complexity No. 47 is going to haunt me no longer.
Expect a goodbye post to appear here sometime either next week or the week after. I may come back to Socionics at a later time in my life, after I've lived awhile.
Socionics will not die!
Your INTp friend,
